7 rlhis invention relatesto, certain new and useful improvements invanity cases and pertains more especially lto a loose powder holder forthe case. f 7 L The primary object of the invention 1s to provide apowder holder which has novel means for retaining rvthe. powder 1n vtheholder thereby to prevent the powder from being shaken or otherwisemoved out of the l0 holder. Y j 'A further object of the invention is'toprovide a powder holder which may be easily and quickly applied to andbodily removed from the case,v

or forms and applied to cases ofcorresponding `size or form; l l Theinvent on further aims to provide a simple and economical form ot.powder holder, and hasl stilll further and-other ob-` jects which willbe later'setforth and manifested in the scriptions.

In the drawings n Figure 1 is a plan Viewof a case equipped with thepresent invention, the case being in open position; and l .n t

Figure 2' is a section von line 2-42 of Fig. 1k. In proceeding inaccordance with the pres-` 'ent invention a case is illustrated havingVa y body 1 providedwitha rim2 to which latter a ycover 3 equipped withamirror Ltis hinged at 5 to the rim 2 of the body 1. The rim 2 has alatchycomposed of aspring arm 67 riveted thereto at 7, the free end ofthe arm having a catch 8 and the y'usual tingen.

engaging ear 9.

The powder body having a bottom 10 provided with a centralpowder-holding depressionor 'well 11, the bottom 10 aiiordinga ledgewhichen- Compasses the well and lies thereabove. A.

` j cover 12 is provided orthe well and is orined with a shallow centraldepression 13 which is of less diameterthan that of the Ainternaldiameter of theledge 10. The'cover 12 is hinged at lato the ledge 10andhas a spring catch 15 and a finger piece 164,'the.

catch 15 beingformed to spring into an opening 17 provided therefor inthe top of the body above the ledge.V The powder holder further has adepending rim 18 preff erablyV formed to frictionally engage with andwithin the rim -2 of the bodyl.

thereby to enable theholders V 15 tobe made separately' and. in various4sizes course of the following de# holder is composed of Y a'A VForthefpurpose otpreventing escapeot the powder from the well 11,a feltnpador equivalent519 is engaged with the cover v12 on the under face of thelatter and is se-v cured in placethereon by means of a metal or otherdisk 120 which engages the felt disk. A rivet 21 is extendedithroughthedisksl 19 and 20 and the cover depression 13 and serves to clamp thedisk 20 against the pad 19 and' the latter against the cover 12. n YTheelt pad or disk 19fextends'beyond the depression 13 and also beyondthe clamp!- ing disk 2O so as topermitl its peripheral yportion 21-toiiare into the Vodset v22 resultant from the depression V137 whichportion 21 seats on ledgelO and provides an effective seal for the well11,y prevent-ing'the escape of powdertherefrom.

Y The rim 18 of the holder is cutaway at 23 to receive the latchingdevice of the body 1, which latter serves to hold the holder againstrotation when applied to the body 1'. F rom' the Jforegoing irt will beseen that the holdercanbe easily and quickly applied to the case withoutthe necessary use oi' tools or the like and can be removed by merelyprying same out by use of any pointed inv vstrument inserted in cutout23. i. Having thusdescribed our invention, what we claim as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is y 1.` In combination with a vanitycase havf inga rim, a powder holderihaving a body provided with a .rimremovably engaged in the *case rim and having a powder well with a`ledge surrounding the latter, a lhinged cover for the holder having acentral depression forming an oii'set whichlatter surrounds thedepression, a felt disk-likepad engaged with the under ace of depressionof the cover and with the oset, and a disk secured `to thecover so as toclamp'the pad thereto, the pad having a flared'peripheral partproject-ing beyond the clamping disk and seatedV on the ledge of theholder body. v

2. In combination with a vanity case having a rim7 a powderholder'having a body providedwith a rim removably engaged in -the caserim and having a powder well with a ledge 'surroundingvthelatter, ahinged cover orvth'e holder having a central depression forming an osetwhich latter Surrounds the depression, a feltdisk-like -pad y engagedwith the under face of Vdepression of the cover and with the offset, andmeans to secure the pad vto the cover so as to allow the peripheral partof the pad to seat on the ledge.

3. In combination vwith a vanity case, a

powder holder having a body formed with a well, a ledge above the top ofthe well sur! l to the under face of the cover and seating on the ledgeto seal the well against the escape of powder therefromgand a plate forsecuring the pad to the cover extending vover the central 'part of thepad and being receivable in i the well'when thecover is closed.

5. In combination with a vanity case, a powder holder havingra bodyformed with a well, a ledge above the top of the well surrounding sameandV locatedbelow the top of vthe body, a cover for the well hinged tothe top of the body, and having an offset channel, a telt pad on thecover engaged in the channel and seatingon the ledge, and a disk securedto the cove'rfor clamping the pad Vthereagainst and in the channel, the,pad eX- tending beyond the disk. Y I

Y 6. In a powder holder, a body, a hinged cover therefor, a felt pad onthe under face of the body, a disk of'less diameter than kthe padengaged with the under face of the pad,

and means to secure the disk and thereby the ,y

pad to the cover, the peripheral part ofthe pad engaging'the body' so as'toprevefnt the escape of powder therefrom.

7. In combination with a vanity case having an upwardly extending rim, apowder holder having its central part dished to form al powder holdingwell that is independent of the case, and having its marginal portionVextended downwardly to forro a vdepending' rim which engages the rim ofthe body, the

part of the top of the body between the well and the rim thereof beingoffset to form a ledge, a vcover for the well, and a padcarried by thecover and seating` on the ledge.

8. In combination with a vanity case hav ing 'an upwardly extending rim,a powder holder having its centralpart dished to form .a powder holdingwell lthat is independent of the case, and having its marginal portionextended downwardly to forni a ldepending riin which engages the rim ofthe body, Ya pad carried by the cover andseating on the ledge, means tohinge the `cover to the top of the body above the ledge, a catch carriedby the cover and a keeper for the latch at the top of the body abovetheledge.
